Demon Slayer Trailer Reveals the Upcoming Swordsmith Village Arc

Fans of the immensely popular anime Demon Slayer will be excited to know that the first trailer for the next Arc in the series, the Swordsmith Village Arc, is finally here. Although it does not give away too much plot-wise, it still builds up the hype for the upcoming season. The previous Entertainment District Arc finished airing its 11 episodes on February 20.

When audiences last left off with our favorite demon slayers, they had just defeated the Upper Moon 6 pair, Gyutaro and Daki, managing to survive a battle of unprecedented proportions for the series thus far. Even though they all bore grave injuries, they survived the encounter, Tengen Uzui (Katsuyuki Konishi) included despite the fact that he ended up retiring from the Demon Slayer Corps in the end.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY

The trailer for this next Arc gives an overview of everything that came before. Studio Ufotable made the striking stylistic choice of having the events of the first seasons play out in scrolls. Then, as we reach the end of the Entertainment District Arc, a new scroll materializes and begins to unfold. This scroll is outlined in blueish-green and pink, two colors which symbolize the two Hashira that will be the focus of this arc: The Love Hashira Mitsuri Kanroji and the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito. The trailer does not provide any new information that one wouldn’t be able to glean from the teaser released in February. However, there are a couple of new animated shots that fans hadn’t seen before.
